Steam & Excursion > St. l. S-W 810Date: 04/15/25 07:45 St. l. S-W 810 Author: WrongWayMurphy No date or location or photographer noted on this print.
My best guess on location is Pine Bluff, Ark. 810 was built in Pine Bluff by St. LS-W shop forces. It was not one of the northerns chosen by SP to continue life out west after the Cotton Belt dieselized, rather it was scrapped in it birthplace.  Date: 04/15/25 08:07 Re: St. l. S-W 810 Author: ironmtn It may not have received parent SP's favor, but still a very nice engine. Those Cotton Belt 800s were very handsome locomotives. Thanks for a neat image.

I guess 819 is a dead issue and no place to go if she was back together and serviceable. Sad. |
